Several haven't had the fit issues that some have had as well. Despite the negative comments/critiques it has received here, it has also been selling extremely well based on comments from a number of retailers throughout the world. Hell, Spruebrothers moved over 300 kits in a week! I'm looking forward to starting mine this week! Read the Detail&Scale review Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've conversed with Mr. Wilson aka Zactoman a few times and, based on what he has told me, the last thing he needs to do is create more work for himself by "creating flaws". He works very hard to keep up with his current work load, and as far as new product, I am sure he has had numerous project he wants to do long before the AMK kit made it appearance. Personally, I don't think the rear end of the AMK kit would be a easy fix anyway, and would end up more expensive than most modelers would be willing to spend. I'm not going to argue with you about the flaws in the AMK kit as it appears you have your mind made up already. If you choose to deny their existence, that's your problem. Just leave Zactoman out of it. As far as I'm concerned his integrity is beyond reproach. I stand with my post as you do yours. Glt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are Martin and Sio renaming their company so that no one would associate their last campaign failure to their new releases? Clever acronym, tho... Well, the B might get to be released in 2060, provided they started working tomorrow morning, I think. As for the A, I'm quite afraid it will never happen after GWH release theirs next year.
